Wait, what? What did TSA do to your laptop?

I don't count old computers (under Pentuim 3 1ghz or a via epia) as I would not use them unless for a firewall, but damn how many firewalls can you have.

Anyway.

The answer for me is 7

5 gaming rigs (lowest is a P4 2.8C with a 6800GT, newest a A64 4400+, but there are 2 of those)
and 2 laptops, 1 for work, one is a Macbook
